Miley BB CD 1970 Mets-Pirates 4/7
Called by Lindsey Nelson  Ralph Kiner and Bob Murphy

This is the last Opening Day game at Forbes Field.  Roberto Clemente has a good day, with three hits and two RBI, but the game goes into extra innings, and in the 11th, Donn Clendenon's pinch-hit single plates two runs to win for the Mets.
